In addition to providing financial assistance for travel, living expenses and tuition, IFP also offers preliminary short-term training including language instruction, workshops on research skills, and computer training.

A total of 42 students-21 Egyptians and 21 Palestinians-were selected in 2002 and will begin their studies at universities throughout the world in 2003.

Since the 1950s, the Foundation has granted an estimated $365 million to enable some 30,000 individuals from more than 70 countries to pursue graduate education.
